In a free society the right to critique art is essential and protected speech. These reviews reflect personal opinions and not statements of fact.

What We Think

"Official Secrets" doesn’t go full Hollywood woke, but it certainly favors a narrow, modern ideological perspective. While not preachy on identity issues, its skepticism toward traditional institutions and minimal tolerance for dissenting views make it a decidedly non-traditional, agenda-driven affair.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Woke

What is this?

The film centers on a true story and largely allows its lead character's personality and choices to shape the narrative, rather than shoehorning in diversity or identity politics for their own sake. Still, the focus on whistleblowing can feel idealized, and some viewers may sense a tilt toward presenting the protagonist as above reproach.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Woke

What is this?

Traditional values like patriotism, duty, and the nation-state are sometimes criticized or presented skeptically. Institutions such as the government and intelligence services are often shown in a negative light, and the film can appear to question established moral frameworks.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Hyper Woke

What is this?

The film offers very little space for opposing or more traditional viewpoints. Those who disagree with the protagonist are generally depicted as callous, unthinking, or villainous, with little complexity. This lack of real debate or ideological diversity keeps the perspective tightly controlled.
